With stacking you can continue working on a longer change while creating reviewable diffs. Merged diffs can be rebased on your HEAD. For teams that support stacked diffs you don't usually even need to manage branches and work directly

IIRC Go had to deal with a bunch of issue related to their initial source based package management system. The URL imports remain, but I believe fetches are served through the pkg.go.dev proxy now. Andrew Nesbitt has a good write [0] up on

I should be specific. I think the technical analysis is reasonable and I actually enjoy someone staking on a big vision, which is why I saved these pieces. An example: "I’ve seen Grab’s hunger. I’ve felt it. I have it. This space is wi

I'm developing concern for Steve. He's been a well known developer and writer in the industry for years now (See his popular 'Google Platforms Rant' essay from years ago) [0]. Now, Yegge's writing tilts towards the

One nice thing if you work on the B2B software side - end of year is generally slow in terms of new deals. Definitely a good idea to schedule bug bashes, refactors, and general tech debt payments with greater buy in from the business

Does this use the txtar format created for developing the go language? I actually use txtar with a custom CLI to quickly copy multiple files to my clipboard and paste it into an LLM chat. I try not to get too far from the chat paradigm so I

Looking into this, could be very useful for working with personal Zotero archives of webpages

Yes, derivations are the main primitive to target in an agnostic way Main challenge is the value of the nixpkgs repo is enormous, and that looks tightly tied to Nix the language and its implicit constructs. I think instead of an FDI one wou

Interested in hearing more about CUE+Nix Considering the tight integration between Nix language v. Nixpkgs v. Nix program I mostly see CUE usable to generate data files but would eventually need to be consumed in a .nix config at some point

Dan Wang explores this idea in 'How Technology Grows' [0]. To summarize, he asserts that the main downside of offshoring is the loss of process knowledge (the tacit knowledge that is learned by doing and transmitted through cultur

I enjoyed this blog post. Julia does a great job of distilling an idea down with examples. I am fairly comfortable with Linux as a user for things like understanding processes, ports, key files and utilities, etc. The way I understand how t

Author here. The closest thing to borgcfg in Kubernetes would be kubecfg [0]. It is based on jsonnet, the open source equivalent to GCL. The official blessed solution right now would be kustomize [1] since it is directly integrated into kub

I agree, a package manager is designed for installing a graph of versioned (effectively immutable) artifacts like a binary or code package. Kubernetes is built to run services, which are not static but continuously running and react to inpu

I highly recommend using CUE for the configuration part. I may not have mentioned this, but CUE is a superset of JSON, You can write the config in CUE then compile the config into a final unified JSON file to be fed into another system. You

Now that Git Virtual File System (VFS) is coming to GitHub, I think we shall see an uptick in monorepo adoption. Though what I said early about compatible tooling still applies. The repo style affects so much of the tooling, from Continous

Libraries internal to Google are kept at the latest and consumers are updated to use the latest APIs. 3rd party libraries are checking into the monorepo at a specific version and everyone uses the same version.

The main driver of success in either model is in the tooling and practices invested in it to make it work in an organization. Google is successful with their monorepo because they have invested in building (blaze), source control (piper, co
